Thames & Kosmos Spy Labs Inc: Secret Message Tools Exchange Confidential Info w/Secret Pens | Essential Tools & Tricks of The Trade from The Detective Gear Experts for Young Investigators Medium

The media could not be loaded. This item is easy to use; just write on it with one of the included pens, then draw the other pen over it to reveal what was written. There’s no bleeding onto other pages, though that might change if you try the experiments listed in the booklet using the paintbrush to paint different materials (haven’t tried that yet, but it seems fun!). It’s kinda strange that each page is pre-printed with a message that takes up most of the page; would be better to have the pages blank in my opinion. Price is right for what you get, and I like that this comes in a tin you can store everything in.

I think it's a bit too simplistic, even for just trying to start someone new on the concept.You get a limited amount of invisible ink, but it tells you "oh you can make more with lemon juice".So you're just paying for a pad of paper and a pen that will run out quickly?

This review is for the Thames & Kosmos Spy Labs Inc: Secret Message Tools Exchange Confidential Info w/Secret Pens.The metal storage tin is cute and useful. The kit consists of a small notepad, a petri dish, 2 pens, 1 brush, and a small info insert. The first secret message method is using the magic pens. The second method is to use household items like milk or juice from lemon, apple, or onion and then to reveal the dried message using heat from a 400 degree oven.This kit is small but fun. My kids have used invisible ink UV spy pens in the past and had fun. I think that they’ll like adding a few new methods for writing secret messages.

This was a lot of fun for my kiddo and her friend at their sleepover.

This spy kit is so cool -- my kid loves it. It is a little kit that has pens, a decoder glass, and a pad of paper. Children can use it to learn about how to investigate and exchange secret messages. The ink becomes invisible as it dries. My son is absolutely delighted by this. Also, if you are looking for a unique stocking stuffer, this kit would be perfect.
